Creativity and Management (B.A.) | Digital Media Creation *in accreditation

Bachelor’s degree program

The degree program combines creative media practice (in this profile: in the field of digital media practices) with basic business knowledge. It begins with insights into creative techniques and processes on the one hand and the structures of the so-called creative industries on the other. Creative processes in the field of digital media practices as well as various business models and fields of application are then introduced. The aim is for students to be able to work in professions (e.g. in media agencies) at the end of their studies, in which creative and economic perspectives are necessary at the same time. There are many opportunities to integrate practical experience into the course.

The degree program teaches creative and technical skills in the field of immersive virtual environments. Graduates are able to develop interactive spatial concepts and implement realistic virtual experiences with the help of 3D modeling, real-time engines and immersive technology.
